Welcome to Yakutat


I just got back from Yakutat, Alaska, and had great fun. Yakutat is isolated among the lowlands along the Gulf of Alaska, 212 miles northwest of Juneau and 225 miles southeast of Cordova. It is at the mouth of Yakutat Bay. The Hubbard and Malaspina Glaciers are nearby. It is a truly beautiful place, but is also very remote. I didn't see any bears, but did see some of their droppings, if you catch my drift. The people there are really wonderful, and I made some new friends. I took some pictures that I'll be sharing over the next few days.
I will be going back to Yak in October and November, and I will have more to share then. Maybe I'll get a photo of a bear.
